Résumé :

Thirty-one species of soft corals have been found on a 30×20 m quadrat on the sheltered shore of Laing Island, on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. Their contribution to the living coverage has been quantified, with special attention to zonation. The observed distribution patterns are discussed and the importance of vegetative propagation for some of the species is stressed. © 1982 Springer-Verlag.
